Hi sewing friends! Well it's been another couple of busy weeks. I'm working a lot designing, patterning and trying to train my kitten just be a cool cat. It's a work in progress but I think we'll get there eventually. He's an adorable little guy and I love having him. I'm getting super close to launching my next pattern. It's both exciting and stressful. And of course I'm already thinking about the next pattern and hankering to start it. Meanwhile, I've rounded up some things happening lately around the sewing world. Let me know in the comments if there's anything I missed. Happy sewing!

SEWING PATTERNS

Deer & Doe released three new patterns for Spring, the Lupin jacket, the Sweet Clover Shirt and the Zephyr Dress. The jacket is definitely my favorite. It's also a category of my wardrobe that I think could be filled in a bit.

Grainline Studio released the Driftless Cardigan. It’s exactly the kind of cardigan that I buy and wear everyday but I’ve never sewn one. I’m going to have to add this to the long list of Grainline patterns currently in my queue.

IN OTHER NEWS...

Along with nine other amazing sewists, I was selected to be a Bernina Ambassador. It’s a very exciting and I’m very flattered to be in such good company. Thank you to everyone who voted for me on Kollabora.

IndieSew released a new fabric collection yesterday called Nightfall. Get it while it lasts, which is never long.

Instagram announced that it will gradually change the way photos are displayed in your feed, opting for photos they think you’ll like over the straightforward chronological format it currently has. Folks are up in arms. They're boycotting all day today and there’s a petition you can sign right here.

Closet Case Files is doing a Sizing Survey and Pattern Giveaway. I’d be fascinated to see the results of this survey..
